## Basic usage

Given an array of items and a function to get the value of each item, returns the item with the smallest value. Uses `_.boil` under the hood.

```ts
import { min } from 'radash'

const fish = [
  {
    name: 'Marlin',
    weight: 105,
    source: 'ocean'
  },
  {
    name: 'Bass',
    weight: 8,
    source: 'lake'
  },
  {
    name: 'Trout',
    weight: 13,
    source: 'lake'
  }
]

min(fish, f => f.weight) // => {name: "Bass", weight: 8, source: "lake"}
```
